Just got my full color copy of Banned Book Club and what looks like some original art from No Rules Tonight! I'm so excited to read Banned Book Club again, I donated my original copy to a high school classroom so I've been without for awhile. :) @ryanestrada.com @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social

What looks to be original art from the graphic novel "No Rules Tonight" by Kim Hyun Sook & Ryan Estrada. A black and white panel with Hoon and Hyun Sook whispering the foreground with 2 men with ROTC shirts laughing in the background while holding masks

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition

Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

These ppl don't understand anything. To them everything is just some thought exercise that can be solved by just being smart enough. So much of science is, "So this is weird. I wonder why X does that?" LLMs will never have intellectual curiosity bc you can't create that using a statistical model.

Models will outsmart Nobel Prize winners. These models will control objects in the real world and may even design their own custom computers. Millions of copies of the models will work together-imagine an entire nation of geniuses in a data center!

Don’t believe the Trump administration’s lies. De-funding the NIH, excluding students from specific backgrounds from funding, and excluding research studying women and other underrepresented groups is not “efficient.” It’s destroying science. arghavan.substack.com/p/do-not-be-...

Destroying our ability to do science is not

Innovation is a key component of the American spirit. The Trump administration's moves to defund the American scientific enterprise are very un-American.”

The more I think about this list, the worse it is. The people who came up with it presumably think AI is the solution to everything, so why not run the abstracts through AI to determine if it's too woke? Either they don't believe it's "smart enough" or it's too expensive at the scale needed.

The more I learn about the failed coup in Korea, it was so close to having been SO SO bad. History books bad. But the people have learned from their history and acted SO QUICKLY to stand up for their freedom en masse and hold politicians accountable that it was over before many knew it happened.

So I have been promoting this like crazy to friends but by coincidence this weekend I read Banned Book Club by @ryanestrada.com and it gave me some great context around the history of Korean democracy that was helpful in understanding the broader implications of what happened yesterday. 📚👀 #booksky

Book cover for Banned Book Club by Hyun Sook Kim, Ko Hyung-Ju and Ryan Estrada. The cover is illustrated and depicts Hyun Sook in the foreground and student protestors in the background with banners and masks. Around the title text there are black redaction bars.

This is a really interesting article exploring bird flight. The explanation of the complexity of feathers is fascinating. #scisky #sciencesky

“Feathers have 10-micron 3D hooks on their surface that prevent them from going too far apart. It is the only one-sided Velcro system in the world. This is something that has never been engineered, and there is nothing like this elsewhere in nature,” Lentink says. Those nanoscale hooks, when locked in, can bear loads reaching up to 20 grams.

Then there are macroscale properties. Feathers are not like aluminum structures that have one bending stiffness, one torque stiffness, and that’s it. “They are very stiff in one direction and very soft in another direction, but not soft in a weak way—they can bear significant loads,” Lentink says.

Randomly checked Twitter and this post about Moana 2/LLM is the most bot filled post I have ever seen. Almost all the replies basically are versions of "talented people can be obnoxious", "skill with a quill is undeniable", "this was him last year with Wish", and AI sludge about sequels.

Certainly one of the more unique Cybertruck wraps that I have seen. I can't really find a coherent theme.

Cybertruck with a pink wrap. Across the front it has the stylized "Cybertruck" font along with Chinese characters and art. The passenger side has several ducks with sunglasses along with the words "Big Yellow Duck" and a money gun with the words "super duck" printed on the side in the Supreme font shooting $100 bills in USD.

On one hand it's very bad that so many of our political compasses boil down to 'it's only fascism when it affects me' but on the other hand at least the Trump campaign has made a pretty concerted effort to make sure almost every possible demographic know, "Yeah, I'm talking about you too."

Great article by Katie Notopoulos on how the biggest news story in the country last night was covered by a student-run radio station. It's so easy to dismiss legacy mediums but they sometimes end up being the most relevant in certain situations. www.businessinsider.com/columbia-uni...

businessinsider.com

Columbia's student radio station was the main source of information for the protests. Here's why that matters.

Without any outside press allowed on Columbia's campus, its student radio station WKCR was streamed by thousands of people nationwide.

Now we're about to see what kind of "CEO" Linda Yaccarino is. She was just actively undermined by the company owner so badly that any illusion that she has any power or influence is shot and the site has turned into a full blown crisis. There is no righting this ship, if she stays she is complicit.
